Goat in a Tote - April 2016

Every year on April Fool's Day, Sister City Japan conducts a fundraiser called Goat in a Tote. For $35 bucks per person or business, you can send a Goat in a Tote to someone for an April Fool's Day gag. The recipient must pay $35 to have it taken away, $45 to have it taken away and sent to someone else, or $55 to have it taken away, sent to someone else, and insurance that it won't come back! It's a really fun event, and delegates have a blast. Most people are good sports and participate. This year was no exception. Many businesses contributed.
